GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-19084 RIN Docket No. RM10-23-000 Order No. 1000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Final rule. Effective Date: This final rule will become effective on October 11, 2011. 18 CFR Part 35 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is amending the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided at just and reasonable rates and on a basis that is just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. With respect to transmission planning, this Final Rule requires that each public utility transmission provider participate in a regional transmission planning process that produces a regional transmission plan; requires that each public utility transmission provider amend its OATT to describe procedures that provide for the consideration of transmission needs driven by public policy requirements in the local and regional transmission planning processes; removes from Commission-approved tariffs and agreements a federal right of first refusal for certain new transmission facilities; and improves coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions for new interregional transmission facilities. Also, this Final Rule requires that each public utility transmission provider must participate in a regional transmission planning process that has: A regional cost allocation method for the cost of new transmission facilities selected in a regional transmission plan for purposes of cost allocation; and an interregional cost allocation method for the cost of certain new transmission facilities that are located in two or more neighboring transmission planning regions and are jointly evaluated by the regions in the interregional transmission coordination procedures required by this Final Rule. Each cost allocation method must satisfy six cost allocation principles.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-6759 RIN Docket No. RM01-8-012 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Comments on the proposal are due May 21, 2012. 18 CFR Part 35 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to revise the Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) Data Dictionary to add “Simultaneous Exchange” to the list of available Product Names in the EQR. This revision would allow for greater transparency in wholesale electricity markets through a greater understanding of these complex transactions. The Commission invites comment on this proposal.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-32744 RIN Docket No. RM12-2-000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Comments are due February 27, 2012. 18 CFR Parts 4, 5, 16, 33, 35, 157, 348, 375, 380, 385 and 388 The Commission proposes changes in its rules and regulations relating to the filing of privileged material, in keeping with the Commission's efforts to comply with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, and the E-Government Act of 2002. First, the Commission will establish for filing purposes two categories of privileged material: Privileged material and Critical Energy Infrastructure Information. This revision will expand the ability to file electronically by permitting electronic filing of materials subject to Administrative Law Judge protective orders. Second, the Commission proposes to revise its regulations to provide a single set of uniform procedures for filing privileged materials. This effort is being undertaken as part of the Commission's effort to reassess and streamline its regulations to ensure that they are efficient, effective and up to date. Also, the Commission proposes to revise Rule 213(d) of its Rules of Practice and Procedure, which establishes the timeline for filing answers to motions, to clarify that the standard fifteen day reply time will not apply to motions requesting an extension of time or a shortened time period for action. Instead, the Commission proposes to set the time for responding to such motions at five days, unless another time period is established by notice based on the circumstances.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-27622 RIN Docket No. s. RM11-7-000 and AD10-11-000 Order No. 755 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Final rule. Effective Date: This Final Rule will become effective December 30, 2011. 18 CFR Part 35 Pursuant to section 206 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission is revising its regulations to remedy undue discrimination in the procurement of frequency regulation in the organized wholesale electric markets and ensure that providers of frequency regulation receive just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential rates. Frequency regulation service is one of the tools regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and independent system operators (ISOs) use to balance supply and demand on the transmission system, maintaining reliable operations. In doing so, RTOs and ISOs deploy a variety of resources to meet frequency regulation needs; these resources differ in both their ramping ability, which is their ability to increase or decrease their provision of frequency regulation service, and the accuracy with which they can respond to the system operator's dispatch signal. The Commission finds that current frequency regulation compensation practices of RTOs and ISOs result in rates that are unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory or preferential. Specifically, current compensation methods for regulation service in RTO and ISO markets fail to acknowledge the inherently greater amount of frequency regulation service being provided by faster-ramping resources. In addition, certain practices of some RTOs and ISOs result in economically inefficient economic dispatch of frequency regulation resources. By remedying these issues, the Commission is removing unduly discriminatory and preferential practices from RTO and ISO tariffs and requiring the setting of just and reasonable rates. Specifically, this Final Rule requires RTOs and ISOs to compensate frequency regulation resources based on the actual service provided, including a capacity payment that includes the marginal unit's opportunity costs and a payment for performance that reflects the quantity of frequency regulation service provided by a resource when the resource is accurately following the dispatch signal.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-27626 RIN Docket No. RM11-17-000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission N otice of proposed rulemaking. Comments on the proposed rule are due December 27, 2011. Comments, identified by docket number, may be filed in the following ways: • Electronic Filing through http://www.ferc.gov. Documents created electronically using word processing software should be filed in native applications or print-to-PDF format and not in a scanned format. • Mail/Hand Delivery: Those unable to file electronically may mail or hand-deliver comments to: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Secretary of the Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Instructions: For detailed instructions on submitting comments and additional information on the rulemaking process, see the Comment Procedures Section of this document. 18 CFR Part 35 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to revise its regulations to require each regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) to electronically deliver to the Commission, on an ongoing basis, data related to the markets that it administers. Ongoing electronic delivery of data relating to physical and virtual offers and bids, market awards, resource outputs, marginal cost estimates, shift factors, financial transmission rights, internal bilateral contracts, and interchange pricing will facilitate the Commission's development and evaluation of its policies and regulations and will enhance Commission efforts to detect anti-competitive or manipulative behavior, or ineffective market rules, thereby helping to ensure just and reasonable rates.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-19084 RIN Docket No. RM10-23-000 Order No. 1000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Final rule. Effective Date: This final rule will become effective on October 11, 2011. 18 CFR Part 35 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is amending the transmission planning and cost allocation requirements established in Order No. 890 to ensure that Commission-jurisdictional services are provided at just and reasonable rates and on a basis that is just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. With respect to transmission planning, this Final Rule requires that each public utility transmission provider participate in a regional transmission planning process that produces a regional transmission plan; requires that each public utility transmission provider amend its OATT to describe procedures that provide for the consideration of transmission needs driven by public policy requirements in the local and regional transmission planning processes; removes from Commission-approved tariffs and agreements a federal right of first refusal for certain new transmission facilities; and improves coordination between neighboring transmission planning regions for new interregional transmission facilities. Also, this Final Rule requires that each public utility transmission provider must participate in a regional transmission planning process that has: A regional cost allocation method for the cost of new transmission facilities selected in a regional transmission plan for purposes of cost allocation; and an interregional cost allocation method for the cost of certain new transmission facilities that are located in two or more neighboring transmission planning regions and are jointly evaluated by the regions in the interregional transmission coordination procedures required by this Final Rule. Each cost allocation method must satisfy six cost allocation principles.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-10113 RIN Docket No. RM10-12-000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments are due June 28, 2011. 18 CFR Part 35 The Commission proposes to amend its regulations pursuant to section 220 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as enacted by section 1281 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), to facilitate price transparency in markets for the sale and transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce. In doing so, the Commission proposes to require market participants that are excluded from the Commission's jurisdiction under FPA section 205 and have more than a de minimis market presence to file Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR) with the Commission. In addition, the Commission proposes to refine the existing EQR filing requirements by directing all filers to: report the transaction date and time, as well as the type of rate by which the price in the transaction or contract was set ( i.e., fixed price, formula, index, regional transmission organization/independent system operator (RTO/ISO) price, or index); indicate whether the transaction was reported to an index publisher; identify the broker or exchange used for a transaction, if applicable; and report electronic tag (e-Tag) ID data in EQRs. The Commission also proposes to: Standardize the unit for reporting energy and capacity transactions; omit the time zone from the contract section; and eliminate the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) data requirement. These refinements to the existing EQR filing requirements reflect the evolving nature of electricity markets and promote greater price transparency and confidence in electricity markets.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-6490 RIN Docket No. RM10-17-000 Order No. 745 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Final rule. Effective Date: This Final Rule will become effective on April 25, 2011. Dates for compliance and other required filings are provided in the Final Rule. 18 CFR Part 35 In this Final Rule, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) amends its regulations under the Federal Power Act to ensure that when a demand response resource participating in an organized wholesale energy market administered by a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO) has the capability to balance supply and demand as an alternative to a generation resource and when dispatch of that demand response resource is cost-effective as determined by the net benefits test described in this rule, that demand response resource must be compensated for the service it provides to the energy market at the market price for energy, referred to as the locational marginal price (LMP). This approach for compensating demand response resources helps to ensure the competitiveness of organized wholesale energy markets and remove barriers to the participation of demand response resources, thus ensuring just and reasonable wholesale rates.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-4267 RIN Docket No. s. RM11-7-000 AD10-11-000 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of proposed rulemaking. Comments are due May 2, 2011. 18 CFR Part 35 The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to revise its regulations to remedy undue discrimination in the procurement of frequency regulation service in the organized wholesale electricity markets. The emergence of technologies capable of responding more quickly than the generators that have historically provided frequency regulation service has prompted the Commission to evaluate market rules to ensure that they are not unduly discriminatory or fail to provide just and reasonable compensation for the service being provided. If found, the Commission proposes to remedy the undue discrimination by requiring a uniform price for regulation capacity paid to all cleared resources and a performance payment for the provision of frequency regulation, with such payment reflecting a resource's accuracy of performance.
